BROADVIEW MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH
2024 – 2025
SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION
Dear Broadview Baptist Church Scholarship Applicant,
Broadview Baptist Church strives to promote and encourage high scholastic achievement through the efforts of the Scholarship Committee. The committee’s motto is “STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE".
Consistent with this purpose, students have the ability to select from two types of awards. One award is based on the need of the student, and the other is a monetary award given to encourage students to pursue their educational goals. The church has established both of these awards. The “ NEED BASED” awards will be assessed on a financial need basis after examining the applicant’s application, Student Award Report (SAR), and Financial Award Letter (FAL) received from the attending school. The “ENCOURAGEMENT” award is a monetary award for those students that do not qualify for the “Need Based” award.
